Anthony's Textured Vegetable Protein, TVP, 1.5 lb, Gluten Free, Vegan, Made in USA, Unflavored

My family are vegans and I am sadly gluten intolerant - this is such a wonderful product. Affordable, great tasting with great texture that can be used to make essentially anything you normally would have used meat for.Any non-vegans out there, this is your opportunity to start cutting out meat to reduce the horrors of animals in so-called "factories", improve your health and those around you, and help save the planet.THIS IS GREAT!

A real value. Compared price per ounce it is the best bargin out there. Flavorless, it allows for versitillity in cooking various dishes, easy to use, and much less expensive than other flavored (and not) products. Great storage life also.Excellet protein source Can be substituted for ground meat of many kinds as it can be flavored with endless combinations of spices. Fun to explore the possibilities. A great THANK YOU to the company for meeting the needs of many vegetarians in a thoughtful and honest product.

This was better than expected! It works incredibly well in tacos and pasta dishes. An excellent and versatile source of vegan protein.

Good product, but expensive. It's nice that it's basically shelf stable and you just add fat and water to rehydrate it. I've used it blended with a bunch of spices to create something approximating taco meat. I like the convenience, but it's comparable in price to beef which, for me, is hard to justify.

As a vegan, I know it’s import to ensure I get enough protein. This dry TVP is very easy to use. It’s organic, has just 1 ingredient, and is very versatile. It picks up the taste of sauces well, and works perfectly in spaghetti sauce, chili sans carne, etc. I just toss in some of this into my recipe. Sometimes I pre soak it, but most of the time I just add it as is in my Instant Pot while I’m cooking the sauce or chili. I get the bite, taste, and most importantly nutrition of meat without the cruelty or stroke risk.

Love using this product so much! We have been cutting back on red meat for health reasons, and TVP helps my carnivore husband with this teansition, immensely. I add this, along with lentils and spices, to make an alternative to ground been for tacos shephard's pie, soup beans, and others. The taste is VERY mild, and the product absorbs the flavor of the dish very well.

Wow! I am a life long carnivore, save for about 6 months when I was a vegetarian in the late 80's. I spend my weekends smoking various meats and vegetables on my pellet grill, just to give an idea about who is writing this review. I finally got around to using this TVP for the first time tonight after ordering quite some time ago. I am absolutely stunned at how amazing my homemade tomato sauce (for eggplant parmesan that I'll be cooking for my son and his girlfriend tomorrow) turned out with this product being used instead of beef. The texture is absolutely perfect for this application and I didn't even bother with hydrating it. As far as flavor goes, it absorbs whatever you're immersing it in so it tastes amazing incorporated into my homemade sauce. I simply added about 1/3 cup of the dry product into the sauce and simmered for about 30 minutes and I am not exaggerating one bit when I say it's PERFECT. I can't wait to try this in other recipes like baked ziti, tacos, chili, and all manner of recipes I use that call for ground meat. At $15 for the bag, it definitely comes out a lot more economical than the offerings at the grocery store too, I'll definitely be getting more of this!

Always a winner. Great way to add protein to meals. Purchased many times.
